A movie theater faces the following inverse demand curves:
Seniors: Ps = 14 - 0.5Q
Adults: Pa = 34 - 2Q
The marginal cost is constant at $2.
a. If the movie theater uses segmenting, calculate the ticket
prices charged to adults and seniors.
b. How much producer surplus does the movie theater earn from
segmenting?
c. Now suppose the movie theater is legally prevented from using
segmenting. What price will the movie theater charge per ticket?
How much producer surplus will it earn?

3. Monopoly Consider a situation where a monopolist faces the following inverse market demand curve 132 - 2a p and the following cost function TС — 12g + 2q* a) Derive the marginal revenue and marginal cost functions b) What are the equilibrium price and quantity if this market behaved as if it were competitive? c) Calculate the Consumer Surplus, Producer Surplus and Welfare levels under perfect petition d) What are the equilibrium price and quantity when the monopolist produces...
Practice Question 4. The inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is p = 30 – Q. The firm's total cost function is C(Q) = 0.5Q² and thus marginal cost function is MC(Q) = Q. (a) Determine the monopoly quantity, price and profit, and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the monopoly. (b) Determine the socially optimal outcome and calculate the CS, PS and social welfare under the social optimum. (c) Calculate the deadweight loss due to the monopolist...
3. The (inverse) supply and demand curves for a cornpany are as follows: Supply: Ps-10+Qs Demand: Pd-70-2Qd where Q-millions of bushels and P-price per bushel in є. (a) Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity that would prevail in the free market and illustrate your (b) Calculate the consumer and producer surplus. (The area of a triangle is -base* perpendicular height) (c) Suppose the European parliament is considering introducing price support where they guarantee a price answer using a diagram Show...
A sand and gravel company sells pea gravel. It faces two types of customer with the following inverse demand curves: Type A: P-3.5-0.0020 Type B: P-3-0.0010 Where Q measures bags of pea gravel and P is the price per bag. The marginal cost is $0.50. (a) Suppose the firm wants to use discounting to price-discriminate. Calculate the price per bag and the price per bag with the quantity discount. What minimum quantity will the firm set for the quantity discount?...
1. Suppose the inverse demand curves for Person A and Person B for a PUBLIC GOOD are given by PA-90 -0.30A Ps - 40 - 0.20 and that MC - $35. a Derive the market demand curve. b. Calculate the efficient market allocation (Can). c. Derive the efficient pricing scheme. (Hint: different prices for different individuals) d. If the individuals acted independently, how much of each good would each individual purchase in the market? c. How many total units would...
Question 111 pts Assume that individuals are homogeneous and that each has a demand curve of the following form for internet service: p=50-2q where p is the price per hour and q is hours per month. Assume the firm has a constant marginal cost of $12. The profit maximising two-part tariff results in the firm setting a per unit price equal to ______ and earning ________ profit from each consumer: Group of answer choices 12: 361. 12: 589: 31: 361....
Willy's widgets, a monopoly, faces the following demand schedule (sales of widgets per month): Price $20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Quantity 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 Calculate marginal revenue over each interval in the schedule (for example, between Q = 40 and Q=35). Recall that the revenue is the added revenue from an additional unit of production/sales and assume MR is constant within each interval. If marginal cost is constant at $20...
